Individual Counseling

Jubilee provides a regularly scheduled formalized counseling session with each student. Regardless if the student’s struggles are major or minor, they each benefit from the individual mental health counseling as well as addiction counseling. Individual counseling focuses on improving the overall level of adaptive functioning in the areas of behavior, emotional expression, and interpersonal relationships. In addition, individual counseling takes on significant value in the resolution of issues and concerns that the student feels ill-prepared to address in the group sessions.

Group Counseling

Group counseling is facilitated by a certified Jubilee counselor several times a week. These intensive groups cover subjects including past trauma (PTSD), grief due to a lost loved one or abandonment, substance abuse addictions, electronic use, mental illness, leadership, spiritual development and emotional regulation. Additionally, each student is assigned to two other counseling and skill-building groups which specifically address relevant issues.

Experiential Based Counseling

Certified ropes course facilitators and recreational professionals operate Jubilee’s experiential based counseling sessions. Experiential based counseling uses activity-based experiences to teach life skills in areas such as relationships, communication, teamwork, self-esteem, self-awareness, accountability, and responsibility. Involving students in challenging and unpredictable tasks helps them think in new and creative ways about old problems. These activities are designed to identify what needs to be changed in a student’s life and relationships, and helps students to take the steps necessary to achieve success.

Family Counseling

Family counseling occurs often, based on the needs of the family and the stage of the student’s course of treatment. Family counseling sessions usually occur over the phone, but parents are welcome to attend in person or via video conferencing (SKYPE). A Jubilee counselor schedules family counseling sessions for each student. The family is also welcome to request family sessions as needed. These sessions provide the opportunity for families to work through sensitive issues together and to support each other in preventing relapse, and planning for reunification.
